Download or read book Red Wine and Health written by Paul O'Byrne and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book revises the principal strategies for the characterisation of red wines based on compositional profiles of biogenic amines as a source of information. Special attention is paid to toxicological and organoleptic repercussions associated with the presence of these natural components of wines. This book also aims to characterise the red wine through dielectric parameters. An overview of the basics of the dielectric properties of materials, specifically in foods is also presented. Phenolic compounds in wines, especially in red wines, possess strong antioxidant activity in vitro. Phenolic compounds, obtained in red wine, are natural constituents of grapes and wines. They have the largest effect in decreasing atherosclerosis by both hypolipemic and antioxidant mechanisms. Thus, phenolics show a positive effect on human health and they may cause an increase of antioxidant activity of blood plasma. In this book, the effect of total phenolics [TP], total anthocyanins [TA] on the antioxidant activity [AA] is discussed. Furthermore, the applications of the different analytical methods that have been developed so far for the analysis of natural antioxidants in red wine are discussed, such as high-performance liquid chromotography (HPLC), gas chromatography (GC), and capillary electrophoresis (CE). Also, the agents influencing the phenolic profiles of red wine are overviewed. Wine safety and healthiness depend on the interactions among various factors, several of which of microbial origin. This book explores scientific knowledge on the microbial role in the healthiness and safety enhancement of red wines, by proposing a specific selection of microbial starters. Furthermore, the growth and metabolism of lactic acid bacteria (LAB), which are essential in the quality of many fermented beverages like cider and wine, are discussed. In addition to malic acid, some other organic acids, sugars and carbon sources may be utilised by LAB modifying the sensory quality of these products. In fruit juice and related product, for example, they are considered spoilage microorganisms. Sulphur dioxide (SO2) is one of the most debated chemical components used in enology. Its important antioxidant, preservative and antiseptic properties are indispensable for the health, stability and quality of wine. Flow injection analysis offers great potentials on the field of automation in terms of high sampling rate, precision, accuracy and cost effectiveness. This book reviews automated flow injection methods for the determination of sulphur dioxide in wines. Moderate wine intake could play a protective role in several systems, including cardiovascular, digestive and neuroendocrine ones. Since the description of the French paradox, many beneficial effects of red wine have been described, namely those linked to cardiovascular disease protection. The most recent findings regarding the effects of red wine or its components on the adipose tissue are reviewed. In addition, it has been shown that red wine polyphenolics causes substantial falls in blood pressure, thus improving endothelial function and decreasing oxidative stress. These studies on vascular endothelium are also looked at. The main component considered responsible for the reduced risk of death in alcoholic beverages is ethanol. This book reviews the data generated to date on the amount of phenolic compounds necessary to elicit certain cardioprotective effects. This data may have implications for national alcohol and dietary guidelines, for medical practitioners who 'prescribe' daily moderate wine consumption, as well as for the wine industry per se redeveloping healthier wine styles and types.

Download or read book Wine Faults and Flaws written by Keith Grainger and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-05-19 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An essential guide to the faults and flaws that can affect wine Written by the award-winning wine expert, Keith Grainger, this book provides a detailed examination and explanation of the causes and impact of the faults, flaws and taints that may affect wine. Each fault is discussed using the following criteria: what it is; how it can be detected by sensory or laboratory analysis; what the cause is; how it might be prevented; whether an affected wine is treatable, and if so, how; and the science applicable to the fault. The incidences of faulty wines reaching the consumer are greater than would be regarded as acceptable in most other industries. It is claimed that occurrences are less common today than in recent recorded history, and it is true that the frequency of some faults and taints being encountered in bottle has declined in the last decade or two. However, incidences of certain faults and taints have increased, and issues that were once unheard of now affect many wines offered for sale. These include ‘reduced’ aromas, premature oxidation, atypical ageing and, very much on the rise, smoke taint. This book will prove invaluable to winemakers, wine technologists and quality control professionals. Wine critics, writers, educators and sommeliers will also find the topics highly relevant. The wine-loving consumer, including wine collectors will also find the book a great resource and the basis for discussion at tastings with like-minded associates. Reviews I read this book avidly from cover to cover. I’ll dip into it for future reference as required, which is how many will employ it. Meanwhile, I learned a great deal, and it now influences how I think about wine evaluation. I commend this excellent new book to you. Consider it an investment. Paul Howard, Wine Alchemy

Download or read book Wine as a Functional Food written by Yung J. Yoo and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The wine price was not correlated with these health beneficial compounds nor with the antioxidant activity; in general, wine price was negatively correlated with health functionality. The consumer rejection threshold varied in the green tea extract or grape seed extract spiked wines between Korean and Australian consumer groups; the Korean sample better tolerated the green tea extract spiked wines while the Australian sample had a higher rejection threshold for the grape seed extract spiked wines. In this spiking method, antioxidant activity increased dose dependently as the concentrations of these extracts increased. Regarding consumer preference on the perceived healthiness of wine and consumer behaviors, Australian consumers perceived health benefits of red wine more than Korean consumers. At the same time, Australian consumers had more health related wine knowledge than Korean consumers. Taste was the most important factor for both Korean and Australian consumers in wine choice. On the other hand, health enhancement of wine was more important to Korean consumers than that of Australian consumers. The most preferred wine outlet for Korean consumers was supermarkets while bottle shops was the most preferred place to buy wine for Australian consumers. In relation to gender, Korean women consumed red wine as much as men, but Australian women consumed significantly more white wine than men. These results are insightful for wine consumers, winemakers, and the wine industry, providing information about the health benefits of wine, methods that increase health functionality, sensory evaluation, and the perceived healthiness of wine in culturally diverse consumer groups."--Abstract.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can drinking red wine save your life? Scientific breakthroughs within the past several years suggest that it may not be an unreasonable question. Red wine's miracle molecule, resveratrol, has been proven to extend life dramatically in experimental animals. But resveratrol is only one of a family of compounds called polyphenols that may hold the key to preventing Alzheimer's disease, heart disease, and everything from cancer to the common cold. With new discoveries come new controversies though; Age Gets Better with Wine explores the question of whether the benefits of healthy drinking can be put into a pill, and delves into the science behind the secret to living longer and living better with wine.

Download or read book A Quest for Quality Wine Every Time written by Joyce Steakley and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-07-31 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wine has been around for thousands of years, grape growing and wine production is worldwide, and recipes are prolific. However, this approach to winemaking root cause analysis is original and cannot be found in any other winemaking publications. The book start with the basics, with the authors' own basic winemaking steps. This provides a winemaking process and common language. With this understanding and departure point, they describe Root Cause Analysis (RCA) methods as applied to winemaking. Though winemaking appears to have simple steps, problems or flaws inevitably arise. Instant access to online materials can provide ad-hoc answers to given conditions; however, the applicability of these solutions to one’s own situation ad particular conditions is not always clear. Selective changes may or may not solve the problem and in the winemaking world, it may take years to finish the wine and understand if the quality actually improved or not. A finished wine will have thousands of particular current and historical conditions that played some role in its quality.The root cause analysis (RCA) approach provides a path to sort these out and guide winemakers to the solution. It creates a problem statement and systematically divides the world into six discrete groups. This book tackles each and all of these, one group at a time. The text contains examples that prioritize the contributing factors. Observations are noted, possibilities identified, and likelihoods assessed. Actions and tests are identified to aid in assigning risk, corrective action, and preventive measures. Given limited time and resources, prioritized risks and actions improve the chance of solving the problem. The book provides problems exploring each of their respective six group characteristics. Each RCA step is described and illustrated in detail. The process is revealed and explained through multiple examples. Feature 1: Organized systematic method for solving winemaking quality problems Feature 2: Applicable to amateur or commercial winemakers or any other product or system development activity and organization Feature 3: Unique new application to the wine making world but similar methods historically used in complex aerospace product development Feature 4: Teaching winemakers and producers how to think about uncertainty and error. It’s possible that gold medal wine, or 95-point Wine Spectator score, or 93-point Robert Parker score was deserved for that particular wine and vintage. But it is also possible you were very lucky. It may not be earned again in next year’s vintage. This book teaches approaches and methods to maintain and or improve the quality, every year. Feature 5: Application of a potentially 'dry' rigorous root cause analysis approach in a world that enables the joy of creating and appreciating something very enjoyable. It will help you smile, at least once a year.
